Chapter 277 Successfully won
As the sound of gunfire everywhere became less frequent and then disappeared, the huge city of Magic City was captured by Yan Xu so dramatically that no one would believe it if he told others about it.

In fact, Yan Xu also admitted that there was a gambling element in his play, and fortunately he won alone.

How did Yan Xu create a miracle with only a little over a thousand soldiers?

In fact, a thousand soldiers were just a stepping stone. What really determined victory or defeat was the deep mass base he had laid down early on. This was the reason why he broke the old shackles but did not cause chaos.

Wealth no longer has any appeal to Yan Xu. As long as he wants, he can enjoy everything. Even if he is a little perverted, he still has his mother and the Japanese world where he doesn't have to worry about anything.

But Yan Xu has a longer-term goal, so compared to enjoying himself, he would rather use money to exchange for incense and merit.

For example, the several factories opened by Yan Xu recruited only female workers and child workers, with the number reaching thousands, and the number will continue to increase.

You know, it is more cost-effective to open a factory and recruit male workers. As long as the working hours are extended compulsorily, profits can be maximized.

Because Yan Xu's factory recruits weak female workers and child workers and reduces the intensity of work, it often needs to hire 1.5 to 2 times the number of people to keep up with production.

However, although this move seems to increase production costs, it means that the burden on thousands of families has been reduced and more people can survive.

The decision to recruit female and child workers was made by Yan Xu because he was well aware that the status of women in those days was very low and the child mortality rate was high.

The main reason is that the income is too low, and the food in the family must be eaten by the strong laborers. This causes women and children to be hungry all year round. Their resistance is extremely poor, and they may fall ill if they have a headache or fever.

Yan Xu's factory is willing to recruit them, which means they can make money and their status will naturally improve. At least they will not be beaten or scolded. In addition, they must eat lunch in the factory and cannot take it away, which makes their health somewhat better.

With this income, a family can reduce a lot of burdens and go from struggling to living to just being able to live with an effort.

This is the greatest act of kindness, and it is something that is visible and tangible and is happening right next to us. Naturally, neighbors will spread the word about it and feel envious.

The Lulutong that was casually created at the beginning also spread throughout the Magic City with its good reputation. It not only absorbed thousands of young men so that they could support themselves, but also cooperated with the gang of thugs under Rapunzel to become Yan Xu's eyes and ears.

In the entire Magic City, as long as Yan Xu wanted to know about someone, he would be able to find out that night how many mistresses the other person had, what they looked like, where they lived, when they took off their clothes, when they left, what they wore, what they carried, and even how much the other person defecated the next morning. As long as he wanted to know, he could find out for him, because Lu Lu Tong had already penetrated into every aspect of the lives of the people in the Magic City.

Buying groceries, cooking, washing clothes, taking care of children and emptying the toilet, there is nothing they don't do, so it is very easy for them to collect intelligence.

However, the one that really spread its influence was the Guandi Society, which claimed to have 100,000 believers, because religion is born to do this, so with just a call, thousands of young and strong believers in Shanghai dared to go out with red scarves on their heads to help maintain order. You have to know that at that time the sound of gunfire was intense everywhere, and ordinary people dared not step out of their homes.

It was the appearance of thousands of Guandi Society followers that scared away those who were planning to take advantage of the situation, allowing the Demon City, which was supposed to be in turmoil, to remain stable. Generally speaking, whether it was a rebellion or a mutiny, wherever there was a war, there would be unrest. For a city as large as the Demon City, it would be impossible to end without tens of thousands of people coming out to smash, loot, and burn hundreds of fires, and without a four-digit death toll.

But all the waves were suppressed before they could spread, which was the reason why Yan Xu successfully took over the Magic City.

There was no unrest among the people, the barracks were simply abandoned, and the foreign soldiers in the concession were blocked. Yan Xu's only enemies were a small number of armed personnel stationed in various important places, and these armed personnel who lacked fighting spirit were naturally no match for his carefully prepared guards.

The war started in the morning, the top officials of the Magic City government were thrown into jail in the afternoon, and the deputies of various departments were brought in for a meeting in the evening.

It's not that these people didn't want to run away. In fact, they reacted quickly. When they heard the sound of gunfire, they knew something was wrong and hid immediately. When their leaders disappeared, they knew something was wrong and prepared to leave the Magic City and go to the barracks outside the city to "report the news."

However, their every move had actually been watched for a long time, so they were caught before they even left the house. Now facing the legendary Demon City Killer King, they could only tremble in fear, not knowing whether they could go back alive tonight.

"It seems that you have all heard of my reputation." Yan Xu, with his aura released, was like a peerless ferocious tiger. Even if he was just sitting there, he made everyone's heart beat violently, and their whole body was covered in cold sweat, looking as unlucky as if they would die suddenly at any time.

What is the extraordinary? It is the key to a life level that has transcended the original limitations and started to move towards the inhuman. In other words, Yan Xu is strictly speaking a completely different species from other people. He is a more powerful and deadly monster. Therefore, even if there is no action, the instincts of other people are still frantically reminding them to run quickly, so their hearts are beating like drums. This is an instinctive reaction to escape.

"Very good, this way I don't have to kill a chicken for you to see." Yan Xu did not indulge in the desire for power to control the life and death of others, but immediately turned to the point.

"From today on, I have the final say in the Magic City. As for whether the Qing Dynasty can recapture the Magic City and what will happen to me, that is not a problem you need to consider. Only the living need to consider it, not the dead." Yan Xu said expressionlessly, making the crotch of everyone present wet. It felt like a tiger caressing the top of its head, the feeling that life and death were in the other person's hands, made them immediately recognize the facts.

"Now you start to exercise the power of your main positions and get your respective departments up and running. No one will go to call for help. Whoever doesn't come will never come again." Yan Xu's tone was not harsh, but everyone could hear that it meant that they didn't need to come, because only dead people don't need to work.

"Whoever does a good job will be converted to a regular employee. If you don't do a good job, there's no point in keeping you." Because they still needed to work, just pumping was not enough, so Yan Xu took out the sweet dates he had prepared.

"Do you understand?" Yan Xu glanced around and immediately attracted a lot of agreement.

"understand!"

"We all understand, sir!"

"Very good, remember that I worship Guan Gong. If your style of doing things does not satisfy me, then..." Yan Xu, who did not want to be disgusted, reminded. As for the unfinished words, he believed that these smart people did not need him to be too straightforward. He could only say that those who understood would understand, and those who did not understand did not matter. They just had to be more careful in their next life.
